Harley Davidson was established in Milwaukee in 1903 and has gone on to become one of the world's most iconic and longest running motorcycle manufacturers. Harley epitomise large-capacity cruisers that many have tried to copy but have never managed to match Harley's image and prestige. For some the Harley-Davidson FLHR Road King is the best example of Harleys products, combining the 1950s style of the Fat Boy with the versatility and comfort of the Glides thanks to its twin shock chassis, with the custom model featuring leather panniers, backrest and windscreen. At its heart lies a classic HD vee twin air-cooled 1450cc Twin Cam motor driving through a five-speed manual transmission delivering a torque figure of 117Nm at only 3500rpm. That impressive amount of low down torque is ideal for pulling along a sidecar like the bespoke LAK wide bodied version fitted to this bike. Harley never offered a sidecar to suit driving on the left hand side of the road but LAK used some of the fittings of the home market models to produce a stunning looking sidecar that compliments the shape and style of the Road King.

This rare combination is presented in excellent condition, run recently it is only being sold as the vendor needs to downsize his collection. The bike comes fitted with lots of extras including a genuine HD screen, backrest, crash bars, spot lights, sound system and leather saddlebags. The colour matched wide bodied sidecar is a work of art and really looks like it belongs on the bike. Fitted with what appears to be genuine Harley features such as the lights and mudguard crest, there is a chrome rack on the rear and it includes all of its protective covers. The bike has been modified for sidecar use with the correct profile tyres all round and most importantly, a 'Champion' reverse gear kit. This distinctive looking outfit stands out from the crowd and would cost a small fortune to put together new, the reverse gear kit alone would come to around £1750 alone. It comes supplied with a current V5C.
